Worst on the basis on how they perfomed or worst squad on paper going to the tournament ?

That's the thing I don't get. I want to say its performance, but there have been worse sides than Brazil 1974, England 2010 etc. and then you can't say its on paper either because the likes of El Salvador are thrown in the same list as England. It really is a terrible list.

I hope you realise that you embody the quintessential 'Australian culture cringe'. It's embarrassing to read.

Yeah a team that played pretty good football, scored some great goals, from a country that where football isn't even relevant is 'one of the worst teams of all time'. There were no expectations from the team and they performed admirably. This isn't an 'Italy 2010' fiasco, or 'France 2002'. Also against three teams that could have realistically won the cup or come close.

Fact. Chile played in 2nd gear and Aus only scored because Chileans are short.
